I don't get people that work a high C. What's the benefit, really? FT line to FT line is only 64 feet and unlike when you're the T, there's no huge hurry to stay in front of the play.

+1

And, IF an official is going to work a "high C", it would be best to at least "step down" on plays that originate from the C's PCA.

Btw, I couldn't disagree more with the notion that the officials "blew the game" for ISU.

Yes ISU had time to recover with a full 5 minutes left in that game. They did not do so very well. But I think that those two no-call, call helped KU go to overtime. If you call the charge, ISU wins the game. If you do not call the foul after players on on the floor, then you do not send them to the line. I think when you make a call it really has to be there and that was not there. And as someone said if they pass on the foul that put KU on the line, we are not even talking about this situation or game and the play is not making national news either. This is why you can have a great 31 minutes and 30seconds (or 39 minutes and 30 seconds) and no one remembers what you did in that time when you have big plays at the end of the game. We are not even talking about the foul that took place where the wrong player was given a foul a few minutes before these this drive and foul.

A good lesson to learn.

Peace

The final "pie in the face" on the whole night would've been if the KU player who should've fouled out had been the guy involved in the block/charge non-call.

I've interacted with the only person in the world that thinks this play should be a block (via YouTube on the page for the video). Mind is blown.

Must be a blind Kansas fan.

Gotta love his comment about not being a block if the defender had moved INTO the shooter instead of falling away from him!

Agree here. Because if the L does rotate, I don't know whether or not they know it because they don't need to move at all.
